All trims of the BMW 7 Series are adequately potent features filled and will not disappoint the traditional buyer. Your ideal luxury sedan will depend on the number of features you want to pack in your car and the amount of power you expect from it. But if we have to choose, we will go with the 750i trim.

Both engine options that the BMW 7 Series offers are potent and deliver unparalleled performance. The base engine which is a 3.0L inline-6 unit is capable of churning out 320hp of power and 330lb.-ft of torque. It manages to boost the car from a still to the 60 MPH mark in 5.1 seconds and in the quarter-mile run clocks 13.7 seconds, making it a joint winner in the segment. 

As standard, the BMW uses an 8-speed automatic transmission and is channeled as a rear-wheel-drive. The higher trim, the 750i, and the 750i xDrive feature a rear-wheel and all-wheel-drivetrain, respectively. They come equipped with a common 4.4L V8 engine that is capable of producing 445hp of power and 480lb.-ft of torque.

In comparison, the Jaguar XJL is similar to the BMW 7 Series in all aspects. It clocks similar performance figures and makes use of an identical transmission and engine setup, however, it does deliver high power and torque outputs. In comparison, the Audi A8 is an all-wheel-drive variant. It is the slowest car in the segment and takes 5.8 and 14.2 seconds to the 60 MPH and quarter-mile mark, respectively.

It features a fuel tank that has a capacity of 20.6-gallons and can cover a total distance of 432.6 and 597.4 miles in the city and on the highway, respectively.

In comparison, the Audi A8 and Jaguar XJL average lower combined efficiencies of 21 MPG. However, they do feature larger fuel tanks that have a total capacity of 23.8 and 21.7 gallons respectively, which allows them to be at par with the BMW when range and distance are concerned.

The ambient lighting feels upmarket with a hint of quirkiness. The leather upholstery that the seats use is of the highest quality and accord supreme comfort. 

The seats provide a lot of under-thigh and knee support. Given that the 7 Series is meant to be chauffeur-driven, its rear seat is the place where you would always want to end up sitting.

The total cargo capacity is larger than segment standard and has a total volume of 18 cubic feet.

Perhaps, the most groundbreaking and evolutionary change that the 7 Series has undergone is in the way that it now looks. Maintaining the subtleness and sublimity that its predecessor once boasted of, the latest iteration of the 7 Series looks modern and up-to-date when compared to other segment leaders. It now gets a large signature BMW grille up front, and revamped head and tail lights look as elegant as ever.
